[a21schizoidman]

one of my fav. videos
my dad recorded this off of pay-per-view in 1988 on a VHS, we put it on DVD, I still watch it, a lot

its Les Paul & Friends: He Changed the Music

this IS NOT the whole concert, I am missing BB King, Rita Coolidge, and some more clips from the Les Paul Trio (I believe, can't remember)

but enjoy what I have been able to dig up!

Les Paul invented 8-track recording, so ibsofacto he invented the reason why we can play masters in Rock Band.

Agreed maybe we could get some of his awesome work in RB because he was a great musician and IMO the greatest guitarists of all time
